The Bible is a Series of Spiritual Letters written by Spirit through those who have appeared to Overcome the Erroneous Belief in a Mortal Existence Separate and Apart from God! It is not a Religious Manuscript, and therefore can NOT be understood as such. The religious interpretation is the mental/mortal rationalization/distortion of Spiritual Dialect, when it takes Spiritual Discernment to Truly Understand the Symbolism of Spirit. I and My Father are One......because the Father is the Only Presence!! "Your very Awareness of being your SELF is Simply God Being Aware of Being Itself as your Awareness. You do not have a Consciousness of your Self other than God being Conscious of your Consciousness. You do not have an Awareness of your Body separate and apart from God being Conscious of your Body. God is Aware of Being All there is of You. God is Aware of Being Your Universe, your Identity, and your Body. But God is Also Aware of Being Itself as your Universe, your Identity, and your Body!" -Consciousness/Spirit/God/The Eternal Speaking as Marie S. Watts

Cant live as an atheist anymore. The Shroud of Turin blew up my atheistic belief in 2 days.100% unexplainable- except for a orthogonal high intensity radiation discharge that according to the scientific equations had to happen in a 1/40th in a billion second or it would of vaporized the linen shroud. On top of the image being 3d and with a vertical orientation that defies gravity. Life is to amazing and unexplainable. Near death experiences, UFOs that seem to defy gravity and the origin of life. The most ancient cells that have digital code imbedded in them. Gravity, time and space don't create information. It comes from a mind. Atheism requires faith just as much as believing in GOD does.

Truth is very obvious and apparent. Only everything else stands between you and observing it, including yourself. The existence of a source to existence itself is the most logical and only conclusion. Only an aware, intelligent and powerful source is capable of creating intelligent, powerful and aware creation. It's really quite simple and clear. Unfortunately emotional arguments and people's hang-ups stand in the way of that. This truth has been said in billions of ways for all of humanity's history. And we all intuitively know it, like we intuitively know we exist. To deny it, is to eventually deny your own existence. It's not based on fact and logic but ultimately emotion the reason people find it hard to surrender to the fact. They are that little in comparison. I wish you all well and hope we let ourselves surrender to this truth. God is One. The Singularity. Not a Man. Not a Woman. Not a Creation (universe). The UnCreated. God is what we all know. Don't complicated. Don't be arrogant. Surrender! Submit we all will, Surrender only the wise lucky few will. Alhamdlillah (Thank God) God Bless!

@dt089 Ай бұрын

I always find it interesting that the theist condemns the atheist/agnostic of "thinking to logically" or "overthinking" when it comes to organized religion and when you ask them, at their core on why they believe, they always talk about a feeling. The thing is, feelings are very subjective and are based upon our interpretation of emotions that arise in a specific context. They can also be influenced and manipulated by external factors, that's why one person can have a spiritual experience in a cult and begin to strongly identify with the cult leader based on their feelings. The flipside of this is that a different person can also have a profound spiritual experience in a church, or mosque following an organized religion. So, yet again, the burden of proof lies with the theist, who is the one making the claim, not the atheist or agnostic.

@michael7174 Ай бұрын

Yes feelings alone are insufficient, but I didn't hear that view being presented here. It opens with Cliff stating there is "evidence" that God exists, that Jesus rose from the dead and that the NT writings are reliable. Faith in Christianity is rooted in evidence and primarily in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

@dt089 Ай бұрын

@@michael7174 You didn't even watch the whole video, did you? "Coming to faith in Christ is not primarily an intellectual thing, it's primarily an issue of the heart." Then Cliff goes on to say the feelings of love he was shown through his parents and the experience of love he felt "through Christ" is why he believes. This is exactly what I'm trying to point out. Feeling which is entirely subjective trumps an objective evidence.

I see "Satanists" as just as weak as the rest of the followers of Abraham, as they all believe God is DIVIDED INTO GOOD & EVIL... and they all worship sin. My divergence in Theism & theology is I do not believe in the concept of "EVIL & SIN". I believe in the True unity of the ONE TRUE CREATOR. The ONE true CREATOR has nothing to be jealous of, For all existence is an extension of his being. All words are HIS WORDS. ALL NAMES ARE HIS NAME. ALL THINGS ARE HIS THINGS. GOD IS NOT DIVIDED. GOD IS INSIDE US. I disagree w the assertion that all ppl know about God is in the bibles... Every sentient singularity has a direct connection to the collective cosmic consciousness through our individual consciousness. This is our birthright. Followers of Abraham, w their broken philosophy, seek to insidiously coerce sentient singularities through mass psychosis & mass Stockholm syndrome nto relinquishing their divine sovereignty unto systems & establishments ( using sin) which insidiously abuse the gift of our divine sovereignty. Followers of Abraham do not OWN the ONE TRUE GOD, despite their vain attempts to weaken the masses through the imposition their fractured perception. If God created all things, then he is intrinsically interwoven into all things, thus nothing is separate from the CREATOR. With separation being a manufactured illusion, so too are the incurring conclusions of seperation... such as Evil, Sin, Devil & blasphemy. God can not be mocked or attacked. Only ones perception of God can be challenged. But ones perception of God can not encompass What God actually is.

Then you better stop entertaining matter/form as a reality, as this is what Spirit calls: A House(consciousness) Divided Jesus knew this when saying, "Of mine own self I am nothing. Of mine own self I can do nothing. It is the Father that doeth the works. If I speak of myself, I bear witness to a lie" because he knew where form appears to be only the Infinite, Omnipresent Spirit of God is...! One Life!! Jesus knew Only Infinite Spirit/Eternal Consciousness/Divine Mind/God Is Present, YET has the Ability to Experience Within Itself a SENSE of Mortal Separation from Itself through an Infinite Number of False Images that Appear as Finite Form, such as Humans. Spirit is so ridiculously Mysterious that these false images appear to have a Mortal Mind, Body, and Life of their own that must be Overcome through the Repenting(turning away) of Material Beliefs. This is what took place through the False Image called Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, etc. When Discerning the Dialect of Spirit(reading the bible), it is Important to Know Two Things: 1: The Reality of Spirit *Infinite Life **The Divine Demonstration of Walking in the Reality of it 2: The Unreality of Matter *Sense of Mortality **The Mortal Consequences of Entertaining a Belief in it I and My Father are One because the Infinite, Omnipresent Life of God is the Only Life!! If I speak of a mortal self, I bear witness to a lie!

The evidence proves he exists. The evidences of the Resurrection is proof that he was raised from the dead. But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him. The christian life is the evidences Jesus was raised from the dead and that separates him from every other god.
